PELHAM, N.H. —

Heartbreaking circumstances are bringing newborn twin babies to New Hampshire.

Jamie Snider, a California mother, battled cancer throughout her pregnancy and went on to deliver the babies, but died the next day.

Snider had beaten cancer once, but after she became pregnant, the disease returned.

Her brother, Chris Snider, was with her in the delivery room, and described her as selfless.

“(The doctors) couldn't give her too much chemo because it would affect the development of the babies,” Chris Snider said. “She made sure that the babies would live. She got to lay with them, hug them and spend some time with them.”

The twins were born prematurely, weighing about 3 pounds each, but they are healthy.

According to a GoFundMe account set up to help the family, the twins will soon come to live with family in Pelham.
